Jason Wagler – Boggs Creek Kennel

There were 6 litters of puppies less than 16 weeks of age, with and without the females that did not have any proper identification on the enclosure identifying the female and the number of puppies, or weaned puppies that did not have any cage card or plastic-type collar that identified the regulated animals with their ID numbers, and USDA number. It is important to have all females and their puppies, as well as weaned puppies with proper identification present on the cages or on the animal for proper care and management of the regulated animals. The licensee must provide cage cards or plastic-type collars with the proper information according to sec 2.51 for all puppies less than 16 weeks of age. To be corrected by: May 17, 2015

There were no puppy records for any of the Shar-pei puppies that were sold privately. While there were 7006 Disposition forms filled out and signed, there was no records of the females or the puppies with their ID numbers available that would allow for any traceability of the puppies sold.

The majority of the whelping pens(12) have a large buildup of brown grime around the feeders and inside of the feeder, as well as a buildup of dirt and grime on the walls of the enclosures. There are several run doors on the east side of the kennel that have a buildup of dirt and grime on the inside doors where the dogs push with their muzzles to go outside. While the primary enclosures are being cleaned daily and sanitized every 2 weeks, the walls and doors need to be scrubbed more frequently and sanitized more often to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime on the walls, feeders and doors. When dirt and grime are present, the facility is not able to be adequately sanitized according to AWA regulations and standards. The buildup of dirt and grime on the surfaces of the walls, doors and feeders can provide a vector for disease and bacteria to live that could be a source of other possible health issues. The licensee must clean and sanitize all surfaces that come in contact with the regulated animals as often and necessary to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime. To be corrected by: May 17, 2015

It is important that all records of inventory, acquisition, disposition and births are kept up to date and accurate for proper traceability and management of the regulated animals. The licensee must update the inventory to include all of the dates of the animals that are no longer at the facility. All puppy records and disposition forms must be complete and accurate with the proper ID numbers and buyer information. To be corrected by: December 30, 2017
